Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You are tasked with designing a FinFET for a high-speed application. Discuss the parameters you would manipulate (number of fins, fin height, gate length) and how they would influence performance.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how all these parameters interact in practical designs.

Question 2

Analyze how the effects of DIBL might lead to challenges in FinFET design at very small geometries (<7 nm) and suggest solutions.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider ways to enhance control over threshold behavior.
